Former pro bowler Steve Hutchinson, who will return to Minnesota as a guard for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, was not surprised when the Vikings released him in March.

Hutchinson: "I think just knowing the direction that the team's going, where they're trying to get younger in areas, I saw the writing on the wall. It was a good six years, but it's business too and they've got to do what they've got to do."

I work for a company that sells instrumentation to oil companies, and there are a TON of projects going to west ND. Gotta love oil shale._________________From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn,

Yep. That's why I moved out here. Too much opportunity for a recent law school graduate with student loan debt to pass up. It's a different way of life out here, but it is one of the only areas in the country to have such expansive economic growth. I think they should rename the UND Fighting Sioux to the UND Frickin' Frackers...

i firmly believe the economy in western ND and eastern MT is the most robust one on the north American continent, certainly per capita, that's for sure.

i've never seen anything like it, anywhere.

West Texas is much the same way. The Bakken and Eagle Ford/Permian oil shale fields are just blowing up right now. You would know believe the amount of money that the big oil companies are investing in those areas_________________From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn,
